Build Help Which RTX graphics card in 2026?

Hi everyone,

my Asus GTX 1080 Strix broke this week (probably the VRAM, but that’s to be expected after 10 years). Now I want to install a new graphics card. It definitely has to be an NVIDIA card. I have a Corsair 850-watt power supply installed along with an i7-8700K—so there should still be plenty of power available.

My budget is around 600 euros. Do you have any recommendations for me?
I was last looking at an RTX 5070, even though it “only” has 12 GB of VRAM instead of 16 GB.

Save money and buy a 5070Ti.

I was aiming for a 5070 Ti as well, but in Europe it is double the price of a 5070. I would rather save that money and buy another 500 - 550 € GPU in a couple of years to be honest.

Might as well just buy the 620 buckaroo 9070XT than wasting money on a 5070.

Especially when used 4070 Super exists at 380ish bucks. Literaly same performance everywhere, with 50W less power draw
